If only our beloved ones all had a very attentive Guardian Angel! In real life, we cannot protect our dearest people from all harm, but at least with this dishcloth / washcloth we can symbolically hand them a Guardian Angel. You can either make a washcloth, for example as a birth gift, with soft baby yarn, or you can make a dishcloth for grown-ups. Either way, this present comes straight from the heart and will bring joy.

The cloth is very easy to do with only knits and purls.

The pattern explains very detailed and stitch by stitch how you can knit this dishcloth / washcloth, so even beginners with basic knitting skills will succeed. And if there should be any questions, I`ll be happy to help!
